List of Ingredients



• 36 soft caramel candies
  
• 5 T evaporated milk
  
• 1 cup flour
  
• 1 cup quick cooking oatmeal
  
• 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  
• 3/4 cup butter, melted
  
• 1 tsp baking soda
  
• 1/4 tsp salt
  
• 6 oz semisweet chocolate morsels
  
• 3/4 cup chopped pecans
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13x9x2" baking pan.
   
2. In a small saucepan, heat caramel candies and evaporated milk until smooth and creamy. Remove from the heat and set aside.
   
3. Combine flour, quick-cooking oatmeal, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl; mix in melted butter to make dough.
   
4. Press half of the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake 10 minutes. Sprinkle chocolate chips and pecans over the dough. Top with the remaining dough and bake an additional 15 minutes.
   
5. Remove from oven and top with caramel mixture, reheating as needed to obtain spreadable consistency.
   
6. Refrigerate for 2 hours before cutting bars.
